What is Brain Tumors:
Brain tumors are abnormal growths of cells in the brain. They can develop from various types of brain tissue, including nerves, glands, and supportive tissues.
These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), and their effects on the body can vary widely depending on their size, location, and rate of growth.
Side effects of Brain Tumors:
The side effects of brain tumors can be diverse and may include headaches, seizures, changes in vision or hearing, cognitive difficulties such as memory problems or trouble concentrating, mood swings, and even personality changes.
In more severe cases, brain tumors can cause paralysis, loss of sensation, or difficulty speaking and understanding language.
How is Brain Tumors diagnosed?:
Diagnosing a brain tumor typically involves a combination of medical history review, physical examination, and diagnostic tests. These tests may include imaging studies such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scans to visualize the brain and identify any abnormal growths.
Additionally, a biopsy may be performed to obtain a sample of the tumor tissue for further analysis and to determine its type and grade.
Potential treatments of Brain Tumors:
The treatment approach for brain tumors depends on various factors, including the type of tumor, its size and location, and the patient's overall health.
Treatment options may include surgery to remove the tumor, radiation therapy to target and destroy cancer cells, chemotherapy to shrink the tumor or prevent its recurrence, and targeted therapy or immunotherapy to attack cancer cells with specific drugs or boost the body's immune response against the tumor.
